Chapter 175: Unexpected
Zhuo Qun was full of thoughts, and watched Beilu and Conton continue to talk fixedly.
"And the day of your death, is it also October 14th?"
"No...... No, I ...... It's September 5th. ”
"Huh......? How can it be shorter than the time of both of us? How many times have you been reincarnated?"
"Well, like you, I've been through it twice. ”
Condon's methodical and calm attitude made Zhuo Qun quickly reject the initial inference.
No, it wasn't Condon's hesitation that made him suspicious.
Obviously, even if a familiar question is asked suddenly, no one will inevitably pause.
This is normal.
Can...... So for what?
Why did he still feel uneasy, and felt that Conton was very unnatural just now?
It was such a coincidence, just when Zhuo Qun was puzzled, Bei Lu asked another question, which caused Condon to hesitate for the second time.
The same scene reappeared again, which allowed Zhuo Qun to discover the clue.
"Mr. Condon, didn't you want to come to us in your last life? I mean, in my last life, "The Three-Body Problem" was a global sensation, didn't you feel a little curious about it?"
"Ah...... "Three-Body Problem"? yes, that movie is great. Really got my idea. However, you must know that I really don't like to take risks, I don't like any changes in life, and I want to live an ordinary life by my family's side with peace of mind. So I thought about it again and again, and I thought it would be better to give up my curiosity. And my leg is also immobile, this is an old problem that I have had since I was in my thirties, and there is no way to cure it. What's more, you are in the mainland again, I can only speak Cantonese and a little traditional Chinese, and it will be very troublesome to go to the mainland......"
It must be said that Condon gave a good reason, and his answer was impossible to fault at all.
But despite this, Zhuo Qun noticed that there was a very unreasonable point in Condon's body.
It was in the midst of saying these words that Conton's right hand, which was on the arm of the couch, suddenly grasped his cane.
It's not a casual, effortless way to fiddle with.
Rather, it is tight and powerful, holding the head in a standard position.
Maybe it's nothing in the eyes of most people.
But you must know that Zhuo Qun has been a reporter, and he has conducted candid interviews in the past.
If such a behavior falls in his eyes, there is a big problem.
Because almost all of a sudden, he thought of the scene when he and his colleagues faced the subject of the candid photo.
It is also undisturbed on the surface, pretending to be ordinary.
But whether it is him or his colleagues, after completing the task, there will always be a discovery.
The hand that they hold the bag with "inside it" often punctures their palms with their own fingernails because of unconscious nervousness.
So the crucial question now is, is Condham nervous about something?
His apparent calmness is just a disguise?
Maybe there is some shady secret in his cane?
A flash of inspiration is a matter of a moment, and this is called quick wit.
Zhuo Qun, who found the suspicious point, felt frightened at the same time, his brain was running at a rapid speed, and he immediately thought of a tentative solution.
So, before Beilu could speak.
He interjected and asked Condon a question.
"Mr. Condon, as one of the few people of his kind in the world, I didn't expect us to be so close. Since I mentioned Hong Kong City, I am also a little curious, do you like it so much? You have lived until 2019, and you are not even interested in going to the mainland?"
Bei Lu glanced at Zhuo Qun rather puzzled, as if she didn't understand why he asked such a nonsense question.
But Condon clearly didn't mind, and he smiled at Zhuoqun.
"Yes, I love it here, it's a cosmopolitan city, a free city with all kinds of cultures. Freedom of speech, sound laws, stability and prosperity, I do call this place home......"
And Zhuo Qun didn't give him time to think at all, and said in an approving tone.
"You're right, it's really stable and prosperous. Especially ten years later, you must remember that on the day of the handover celebration in 2019, the port city held an unprecedented celebration, and the streets and alleys were full of lights and flowers. Banners and promotional activities celebrating the success of 'One Country, Two Systems' were everywhere. The Hong Kong government has also decided to give a three-day public holiday, for which tax exemption will be exempted for two years......"
For this reason, Beilu is naturally even more strange.
Because she knows what the port city will look like in 2019, it is about to become a ruined city full of demons and monsters.
Not to mention what celebrations, what government taxes are exempt. What is this not nonsense?
But what was surprising was that Condon's answer was completely in favor without hesitation.
"Yes, I can't forget, the lion dance on the street is very lively, the shops and restaurants are very good, there are too many mainlanders to travel, the eyes of the world are focused here, and the future of the port city is too bright. It's a pity that our lives are all over this year, and we can't see more prosperity in sight......"
At this moment, Bei Luden was stunned, because even she realized that something was wrong.
There is no doubt that Condon, if he had really experienced rebirth, would never have given such a wrong answer.
As for Zhuo Qun, he is a deliberate person, so the reaction is naturally greater.
Saying that it was too late, he pulled Belu up, and then retreated to the door together.
But unfortunately, the prey that has fallen into the trap, even if it is clever, it is difficult to escape.
That's when something truly amazing happened.
Conton, who was obviously difficult to move, jumped up like no one.
He was like a different person, not only was the harmless look on his face gone, but it was replaced by coldness and irritation.
And he also raised his cane with a sharp movement that was very inconsistent with his age and figure, aiming at Zhuo Qun.
Then, just like in the 007 movie, he didn't hesitate to press a switch on his cane.
And just like that, with a soft sound broke through the air.
An injection was firmly nailed to Zhuo Qun's right leg.
Conton then pointed his cane at Belo again, obviously trying to repeat the old trick.
But this time he finally failed.
Because Zhuo Qun used his body to block this needle for Bei Lu regardless of the cost.
"Quick, open the door!"
But because of this, Zhuo Qunyu, who had two needles in his body, couldn't support it at all in the process of urging Bei Lu and fell to his knees.
His eyes began to blur, and he knew that he was probably under anesthetic.
At this time, he only hoped that Bei Lu could summon the bodyguards in time, and maybe there was a possibility of escaping the trap.
But soon he was utterly disappointed.
Because the sound of the doorknob turning, and the sound of Beilu calling Ah Jin's name, only made him happy for a while.
This was followed by Beilu's frightened screams, panicked begging for mercy, and Ah Jin's unexpected response.
"Sir, I've caught this woman. Do you want me to tie her up, or do you want you to give her a shot?"
Damn, Ah Jin! Ah Jin is actually one of them!
Zhuo Qun's heart was as chaotic as a galloping horse.
"Very good, task accomplished. You hold her down, I'll give her a stitch. Before the bodyguards woke up, we had to move right away, so we could make it easier on the way, lest she make trouble......"
Condon quickly determined that Arkin was his man.
It's just that Zhuo Qun never heard the conversation again.
He couldn't even curse and greet Ajin and Condent's ancestors.
In frustration and heartbreak, I passed out completely.
